Hiaasen also includes memorable characters, usually humorously named, like the lying bully Bull and the dirty Lice Peeking.
He describes in detail how sewage is dumped into water and its effect on the nearby environment. Like his adult novels, Flush does not shy away from the darker side of the issues as well. In his popular columns as well as his many novels, he speaks out against the development and transformation of the land in his beloved home state, often with a sense of humor and a touch of satire. Hiaasen is a native of south Florida and an outspoken newspaper columnist for the Miami Herald. Throughout the text, Hiaasen emphasizes the beauty and glory of nature, while underscoring the ability of people, including children, to make a difference in preserving it. The winner of the 2006 Green Earth Award in the young adult category and the 2006 Agatha Award for best children/young adult fiction book, Flush follows the story of Noah Underwood and his family as he helps prove that a casino boat operator is illegally dumping sewage into the Florida Keys. Flush, published in 2005, is Carl Hiaasen's second novel aimed at a young adult audience and, like his first, Hoot, has an environmental theme.
